Baby Iris' hearing loss update took me a while. This is what happened after she failed her initial hearing test after birth. She actually failed her standard hearing test twice and was then referred for further testing. Mild hearing loss in an infant is an odd thing as you are not sure if you actually need to intervene and use hearing aids or not.

Thank you so much for telling your experience. My baby was 2 months when they diagnosed him with mild to moderate hearing loss. I was extremely confused because if he was never diagnosed I would of never known he had it. He smiles when we talk to him, he startles with sounds, he stops talking when he hears the tv. They recommend hearing aids which we just got and he is turning 4 months this week. I am extremely confused, but I decided to get them just in case it will effect his development. It’s so hard to make Decisions.

How is doing? My baby also has mild to moderate hear loss and also he reacts sounds. He will start to use next month his ear aids

@jacquelinealanis6122 Год назад

@@zayratosca4372 He is doing very well with and without the hearing aides! We use the hearing aides but not all the time. The audiologist recommended him to wear them all waking hours, however, my husband and I decided to have them on most of the time just so he doesn’t get used to them if he doesn’t need them. It’s hard to believe he has a hearing loss just because he reacts very well to sound. But they are the experts and we just have to take their word for it. How do you feel about it ? Do you feel the same as well? This is all just so new to me and I would love to hear your opinion.

@jackiemartinez4151 2 месяца назад

My son is 6 mths and also mild to moderate, we also find that he is doing well without using his aids as much. Can you update me on how your little one has been going, do you think it is important to use the aids more often?

I am so glad I could find your video, you are the only person I could find who talks about this issue. My son was also diagnosed with mild hearing loss at 9 weekes. He is affectwd at 30-35db and they recommend hearing aid but I don’t know what to do. I keep thinking maybe it will get better with age as he developes more. Did your daughters other appointments show improvement in the test results? Thanks in advance.

@marciawright2600 3 года назад

She is so cute! My friend's child has profound hearing loss as she would be giving oral "sleeping medicine" before she had some of her tests. Maybe they will do something like that? Anyway, good luck. My friend's daughter has bilateral cochlear implants. It has been a tough journey.

@AthinaKarpouzis 3 года назад

Thank you ☺️ They want to avoid giving her anything. It needs to be natural sleep in order for the test to be accurate.

@KimberleyJaskolski 3 года назад

Speech therapy will also help her with the high frequency sounds later one. It’s made a world of difference to Ellie.

@AthinaKarpouzis 3 года назад

Oh thank you. It’s such a new thing for me. This time around it’s definitely a roller coaster.

Hello! How's your baby now? My baby is 3 months old 30, 45. Thank you for sharing.❤️

@AthinaKarpouzis 2 года назад

She is developing normally and so her doctors are very happy. She can still hear well enough to babble and copy words we say. Monitoring her and hopefully she continues this way. They told us as long as it doesn’t get worse she is doing great.

@mrsr0n Год назад

Hello! Thanks for sharing your story. How's your girl development now? Is she on hearing aids? My son is 1 y/o and was diagnosed with bilateral mild hearing loss and not on aids and seems fine in meeting his development so far. Like you, i'm also not sure he needs hearing aids at the moment.

@AthinaKarpouzis Год назад

Iris is now almost 3 and is doing amazing without hearing aids. She has met all her milestones. She most definitely did not need them so young and I am glad I chose not to.

Hi. my son has initial diagnosis just like yours. Done a lot tests and appointmentsz My Sons turning 6months. How was your baby? any update? did she get a hearing aid? They recommended me to get one..

@AthinaKarpouzis 3 года назад

She is currently 7 months and we haven’t put in hearing aids yet. We feel that she doesn’t need them since her developments continuing normally. It is hard because we have to make so many decisions. I hope you are doing well.

@Tutuualani 2 года назад

My 6 week old db is 30 & 40 .. currently waiting for baby to get evaluated and get more help but idk I’m a little second guessing because my baby give me signs she can hear. Thanks for this video

@AthinaKarpouzis 2 года назад

Yes I know what you mean. Iris shows more signs she can hear the older she gets. It seems there is nothing wrong at all. It is a mild hearing loss. For now she doesn’t need hearing aids. It she is constantly monitored in case her hearing starts to get worse.

@jadedjourneys 3 года назад

What dB is her hearing loss? My boy is 25 and 35 dB.

@AthinaKarpouzis 3 года назад

She is at 30 and 40. But we have more tests to come.

@taufiqmohari4821 Год назад

hi, my baby startled when i called her with loud voice, but she has "REFER" both ear in the report. im waiting for 2nd appointment on 6 weeks, my baby is currently 1 week. doctor said it might be just the birth fluid in ear. im so scared. :((((

@AthinaKarpouzis Год назад

Yes it is possible it the birth fluid as she is still so small. Everything will be ok. Even if there is an issue with her hearing you will be able to deal with it as she is so young.

@harikrishnanps617 Год назад

@@AthinaKarpouzis Hi , I am facing a similar stressful scenario now where my baby boy has failed hearing tests twice, he is 56 days old now . He startles to loud sound, not sure where the problem is. He hasn't social smile yet . We have been advised to take BERA test at 3 months. How about the milestones achieved my your baby at 2 months, when did she did social smile? Did you get a feeling like she is not listening to you when she was 2 months old. Not sure if there is a development delay for my son.
